F'l Z' CI v v n rrn r rt fa t v : V- 1 V Glove print busts vehicle burglars By Taylor S. Fielding editor in chief-TTie Signpost A glove print has led to the arrest of two people in connection with a string of auto burglaries on and off the Weber State University campus. The glove print, which was discovered by a member of the Weber County Sheriff's Crime Scene Investigation Unit who was examining a truck that had been burglarized for fingerprints, was similar to one found at another vehicle burlary investigated by the Ogden City Police Department, said Weber State Police Detective Jared Olson. "This evidence gives you something to work with," he said. The arrest of two suspects, one 18-year-old man and one juvenile, has closed 16 vehicle burglary cases on the WSU campus alone. The cases went back to Jan. 3, Olson said. The adult was arrested and booked into the Weber County Jail on four . counts of burglary and one count of possession of stolen property. The juvenile was cited with six counts of burglary and released to his parents. A third suspect, who was arrested in the Dee Events Center parking lot a few weeks ago on an unrelated parole violation may also be charged. Olson and WSPD Sgt. Dane M.

Black students senator John Shaw proposed the bill and addressed concerns raised by the Associated Students of Weber Suite University executive council. Members of the executive council voiced concern of an "imbalance of power."

"This was excellent detective work on the part of Detective Olson," LeBlanc said. Olson interrogated the suspects and gained information into the suspects activities. The suspects told Olson they allegedly walked to campus during early morning hours and wore all black. They would then go through the Rl and R3 parking lots, checking vehicles for unlocked doors, according to police reports. In some cases, they stole portable CD players and took money from wallets left in vehicles."They never went into R2 because there was too much traffic," Olson said.

Shaw said these chairs are necessary, due to the fact that he feels their operation is currently unconstitutional because they are not recognized in the Senate Bylaws. The measure also gives Executive Vice President Kristen Wolfe the flexibility to create and dissolve committees throughout the year. Wolfe expressed opposition to the bill earlier because she said she needed to be able to make changes for committees as the need arises. Reformation I also allows for an end-of-ycar evaluation of all newly created committees Wolfe forms. "We have to trust each other's competence, abilities and aptitudes," Shaw said. Concern regarding the new ratification of all the charters for committees was also addressed. ASWSU President Brian Brown spoke during the debate. He said he was initially concerned about the changes Reformation I would make, but now feels Shaw has amended the bill for the better. editorial see page 4 Defective Jared Olson "They were experienced in doing this," Olson said. LeBlanc added, "they've been doing this for a while." A large portion of the bounty from the suspects alleged activities has already been fenced, Olson said.

Returning the items to the owners may be difficult, because many of the victims did not have very much information regarding the items that were taken.

The suspects also discussed burglaries from Uintah and Washington Terrace on the south end of Weber County to North Ogden on the opposite end, Olson said. The suspects allegedly confessed to breaking into several garages in these areas. Brown also said the executive council's main concern is not regarding the ratification of each of the committee's charters, but the flexibility that Wolfe should be allowed to exercise. Shaw said he amended the bill to make it as broad as possible "because it is the executive council's power to decide what is substantial." Education senator Jaimi Day and international students senator Sammy Inkumsah said they felt the flexibility issue had already been addressed. "Ratification of charters is necessary," Day said. The bill came to a vote and passed with only one opposing ballot from nontraditional students senator Kelsey Babcock, who did not provide any reason for her vote.
